The further they walked, the more grim Poe's expression became, the tighter he hugged Beebee to his chest.
He couldn't help but think of it like a desert. The buildings all sheer stone cliffs, the streets all sand that had been pressed together as hard as rock. An exile, and a cruel one. Maybe he was being ridiculous - he wouldn't feel this way if they were only thinking about humans - but he couldn't help it.
Rey should have reawoken to life in nothing but love. She should have known kindness from the very beginning.
They should have found her, the moment she was born, and took her home.
A weird nagging thought at the back of his mind made him wonder if maybe it was always meant to be like this. Maybe Rey couldn't be herself until someone had seen her suffer. Maybe the only reason he and Finn called to her soul was to fill the loneliness the world pushed on her. It was a dark thought, and he tried to push it away, but couldn't.
"Who was your guardian?" He asked, trying to keep his tone neutral.
